Bayesian approach for g-mode detection, or how to restrict our imagination

T. Appourchaux

Nowadays, g-mode detection is based upon a priori theoretical knowledge. By doing so, detection becomes more restricted to what we can imagine. De facto, the universe of possibilit…

Speckle noise reduction techniques for high-dynamic range imaging

Pascal J. Bordé, Wesley A. Traub

High-dynamic range imaging from space in the visible, aiming in particular at the detection of terrestrial exoplanets, necessitates not only the use of a coronagraph, but also of a…

Higher signal harmonics, LISA's angular resolution, and dark energy

K. G. Arun, Bala R. Iyer, B. S. Sathyaprakash +2

It is generally believed that the angular resolution of the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) for binary supermassive black holes (SMBH) will not be good enough to identify…
